Being a Dutch family we are out of our minds happy about Holland being in the World cup Finals!!! So what better song for the day than "Hup Holland Hup" which translates as GO Holland GO! It was written in 1950 by KRO employee Jan de Cler, and roucghly translates as "Go Holland go! Don't make the lion look foolish. Go Holland go! Release the animal, Go Holland go! Don't let them take you back Because the lion wearing football shoes Can take on the whole world!" I particularly like the 2nd remix, but the 1st is more authentic.*j

hi, i'm *j and I will be your server today

After nearly a year of Song of the Day posts on Facebook I am starting a music blog. For those days when just a few characters isn't enough to fill my musical thoughts.This is meant as a journal for teaching my kids about the importance of music and music history. Monday through Saturday will be generally be rock related, though not always. Sundays we will go into other genres from Swing to Jazz to Musicals to Classical. Not sure if you'll read me, not sure if you'll care. But you are invited to tune in to check out new and old tunes with me in bite-sized digestible trax.*j
